# Rebar Bars

{% hint style="info" %}
To dimension and tag rebar in the view, consider using Smart Dimensions. Read more about it [**here**](/common-for-several-products/smart-dimensions/structural-rebar.md).
{% endhint %}

### Common Dimensioning in View

![](/files/8UT0YbLsUtAQwMSjFoMU)

**Bars Parallel or Perpendicular to View Plane** – choose to show or hide dimensions between bars and to include/exclude distance to host face.

**Use Smart Dimensions Configuration** - use Smart Dimensions Configuration, instead of settings in Rebar Bars.

### Dimensioning Rules

![](/files/1cTqAsTxufiVacYm8P4U)

Dimensioning rule – choose where dimensions should be placed in view – Nearest Side, Top-left or Bottom-right.

**Exclude rebar bars** – controls whether rebar bars are dimensioned or not.

**If the cut depth is higher than** - enter value to filter out bars for exclusion.

**Reinforcement Categories and Types** - switch ON/OFF to show types of reinforcement that should be dimensioned in view.

### Parallel bar sets

![](/files/DdXXHoIOny6jvCxayHqZ)

Select whether or not to show dimensions between parallel bar sets and if to show distance to the host face.

### Put dimensions for single bars

![](/files/S5zDL2HKVqmoRR3hR72L)

**Put dimensions on single bar** – tick ON to put a dimension on the center of all visible single bars in the view.

**Put dimension on straight bar outside boundary of element** – tick ON to place dimensions for a single bar outside of the host as for other elements.

**Include distance to face of host element** - tick on to give the distance from single bar ends to the  host edge.

**First dimension line Factor** – enter factor to control the gap between the element and the first dimension line.

### **Split dimensions on equality**

![](/files/eCEE5ZFMXFCfVkmUHO7a)

**Split dimensions on equal segments** – switch ON/OFF to join/separate equal dimensions in one line with the expression of times\*distance=total distance.

**Minimum number of equal segments to begin splitting** – minimum number of same distances to join equal dimensions in one expression.
